(W/HOLE)

In episode three, glittering bedroom eyes are followed by a writhing body jungle-gym.


(W/HOLE) Episode 3:
Lewd Gesture Score + Blind

Runtime: 05:01

When Parts Authority, Trouble Clef, Special Guest and the Shape play with dirty gestures and filthy glances, you won’t know whether to blush or belly-laugh. Teased hair, sparkly tops and bold lips, these four babes draw you into a glittery-pink club-dream, before (W/HOLE) shifts to a shadowy body-scape. Erykah Ohms winds through bodies belonging to Parts, Shay Knox, Evie Snax and Ginny Woolf. She explores with her hands, face and tongue, while she gropes and humps her way through the space.

(W/HOLE) explores the incredible potency of queer hedonism, specifically how the authentic performativity of kink and queer porn can evolve trauma into orgasm, and grief into politically radical, transformative, body-based joy. (W/HOLE) investigates the complexity of pleasure, exploring the so-called obscenity of bodies in their most tremendous capacity—their glorious, illicit humanity. Amidst ecstatic water balloon fights, opulent feasts devoured without utensils, narrations of pleasure, lewd hand gestures, densely scored orgies, improvisational performance, and intense kink dynamics, (W/HOLE) proposes a new type of pornography: a world of queer sex that is at once surreally lush and intensely real.

(W/HOLE) was commissioned by the Invisible Dog Art Center and premiered there in January 2019. Comprised of 18 scenes and two additional bonus scenes, this film explores queer pleasure by colliding explicit queer porn, performance art, and dance together create an altogether unique form.
